Experiments

A number of major technology experiments are already underway. The Orbiting Re-entry Experiment (OREX) was carried on the first H-II mission in 1994 to test navigational and thermal control systems for HOPE. In 1996 the J-I HYFLEX mission will further examine aerodynamic characteristics of hypersonic vehicles while the ALFLEX (Automatic Landing Flight Experiment) will test unmanned landing systems. Russian aerospace specialists will also assist Japan in conducting high-speed aerodynamic experiments on HOPE models at the Zhukovskiy Central Aerohydrodynamics Research Institute in the Moscow region I (References 125 and 140-148).
